' LINCOLN DAY AT STATE COLLEGE.— Last Friday, February 12, Lincoln Day, was fittingly observed at State College with exercises appropriate to the occasion, the first time in the history of the College. And so successful were they that President Atherton announced that it was his hope that hereafter Lincoln Day would always be observed ab the College. A special train, leaving here at 9 o'clock, conveyed a large party of Bellefonters to the College. In the party were former Senator Patton, of Michigan, the orator of the day; Senator A. E. Patton, of Carwensville, and his son, H. J. Patton; Gen. James A. Beaver, Judge John G. Love, Rev. Ambrose Schmidt, A. A. Dale, Esq., C. F. Mont- gomery, Henry C. Quigley, Register A.

Senator Patton received a warm greeting and. his address, which was elo- ‘quent and scholarly, was well received. His subject was’ of course ‘‘Abraliam Lincoln'’ and the speaker paid a splendid tribute to this matchless American, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, man this country has ever produced. The Battle Hymn of the Republic .was sung with spirit after which Wade H. Barnes, of the Senior class, delivered an eloguent addiess on ‘‘Lincoln the Man.” This was followed by another student, John C. Elder, on ‘Lincoln the President.” The exercises were brought to-a close by the singing of America. re THE LENTEN SEASON.—Formal an- nouucement of the approach of Lent was made in all Catliolic churches Sunday by the reading of the Bishop’sannual proclamation concerning the manner of observing the lenten season. Ash Wedpesday, this week, was the beginniug of Lent, and the regula- tions for the observance of the solemm sea- son do not differ materially from those of other years. Throughout the entire Lenten period the services in the Catholic churches are of uu- usual solemnity. The first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday, is marked by ‘ceremonies of a very solemn: nature. On that day, when the public penance was in force in the church, the guilty presented them- selves at the altar to avow their faults and to receive ashes on their heads. After the abolition of public penance, the church, not wishing to deprive her children of the great teachings, continued in the pious cere- mony of laying them on the brows of the faithful at the beginning of Lent. The priests make a sign of the cross on the fore- heads of the penitent with ashes secured from the burning of palms remaining from ‘Palm Sunday of the year before. Certain days of Lent are observed with .more ceremony than others. Among the nnmber are the first Sunday in Lens, bet- ter known as the Sunday of the Torches; fourth Sanday in Lent, ealled Laetre Sun- day ; Passion Sunday; Feast of the Annan- ciation, March 25; Palm Sunday, March 27; Holy Thursday, March 31; Good Friday, April 1; Easter, April 3. ia BorougH COUNCIL.—Only six members were present at Monday evening's meeting of the borowngh council, over which Col.
